Joe said “ Shoot them in the leg” / knee? What say you?

Exponentially more difficult and much more risk posed to bystanders if nearby!
That said, with most rifle projectiles (bullets) and some handgun bullets will fully penetrate a human and pose risk to bystanders or neighbors. Which brings us to know your target and what is beyond! memtb
Retired Military Operator who was working as RO explained a shotgun with bird shot is all you need for home defense. One shot to lower abdomen area will knock anyone down, once the bleeding stops dial 911 and you should be fine.
Kyle Rittenhouse shot a attacking criminal with a single shot, right as the criminal pointed a gun at him, disarming the attacking criminal (in many ways), better shot placement and discipline than most PD, included the spectactical guys, only to get called a “white supremest” by The Big Guy
Shooting the gun is common when your brain is screaming "He has a fucking gun!".
That sounds like a retired military operator that now works as a range officer story.
Is the original post/question serious? Anyone with common sense would not be asking the question about leg or torso because the answer is self evident.
"Well that must be a sight. I'd kinda like to see that."
This little part of every story is classic.
I've heard it 100 times in my life.
When I was 18 and heard my boss say it right after his trip to the ER, to remove a few number 8s, I thought it was cool.
Now I just recognize it for what it is, mostly bullshit made up to sound cool.
When people at work ask me anything about guns I just say "guns are icky"
I don’t recommend a shotgun for personal defense but have personally chambered a round in an 870 and the one I chambered the round for turned and ran which was good because the safety was off and I had good sight alignment. Still don’t recommend it though.
Lots of people that have never patterned a 00 Buck load out of an 18” barrel believe this shit and it could cost them under the wrong circumstances.
That will backfire on them so fucking bad.
Remember boys and girls, the law is the only thing keeping a lot of people from going out and getting justice the old fashioned way
Not your ordinary range that your use to, they had to go through a period of removing gang members from practicing there as they sort of took over the place. Owner finally cleaned them out had to install live cameras hooked into the State Police.Place was open 24/7 back in the day which probably lead to some of the problems they were having.
Latrine operator?
eta: I’ll bet a months supply of @TheGerman Cheetos that this “operators” call sign was ID10T Actual.
Like pulling the trigger on a .38 special 9 times under extreme stress and assuming you have had some training.
At least with the 00 in a defensive shotgun you have the opportunity to miss 63 times instead of 6.
Between him saying AR’s are harder to use/aim and are poor for self defense and the whole get a shotgun and fire two blasts, it can be a real lesson in ‘don’t listen to idiots on subjects they nothing about’. I believe someone used the “Biden two blasts” defense not long after he spouted it and was charged either for warning shots or something along those lines.
He could tell me water is wet and I’ll be wondering if it was a dementia moment or he’s working an angle.

When you look at the split times of even experienced shotgun shooters they may or may not get the opportunity to send that second group of 9 in a 2 way situation.
I love you and not just because you got a purty mouf and can squeal real good!
It was a serious question. Thanks for the replies.
Got into Thanksgiving “discussion “ with several including a left-of-Bernie relative who said “no guns” then you shouldn’t ‘be able to shoot a burglar / attacker except in the leg’ as Biden noted. And another 1/2 hour diatribe on related BS.
She noted since I have “never shot someone in the leg or elsewhere”, it was noted I was not qualified to answer. Like she was, having never held a gun.
So I said I’d ask guys that had. That shut her up for then and hopefully the rest of today before she flys back.
Now I’m thinking a peace offering to her, maybe I should just gift wrap one of my peashooters and a firearms training gift certificate and slip it in her carry on luggage as a Christmas gift?

Why are you eating TG dinner with these assholes.
Find a better group of assholes to eat TG with.
Now you could have been ambushed like me, this year, so....learn from it, fix the problem.
Dude took his anger out on the wrong person, his wife was the one who said yes.....
I did shoot a doe from a jonboat floating the Neuse River (Totally legal in Johnston County NC if the deer isn’t swimming) a few years ago and one pellet hit her, right in the spine, and dropped her. About 60 yards, shouldn’t have shot at her at all.
I am simply not practiced enough at running a shotgun in a defense manner to rely on one. It takes lots of practice to run one fast and well enough to trump a carbine. I do have a beautiful Stevens trench gun I wish to run better.

My answer to your question is not to argue with morons.It was a serious question. Thanks for the replies.

The original "Street Sweeper"!!
Oh yeah, I know and even that was on the ragged edge.
(YAWN)
Yall really wanna kick this thread into popcorn popping territory, where feelings will be bruised, crushed and generally smash vaginas?
Cause I've got the stuff....just say the word.

Shots still in a group the size of a slug across the room practically, why aim when you can just yeet it and hope for the best?
Haha

Kyle Rittenhouse, IMO, had tunnel-vision, and was focused solely on the gun in Lefty’s hand. He saw the gun as the threat, and shot towards it. Again, IMO, Kyle Rittenhouse was very lucky with that shot. If he had missed the arm, he would probably be dead now.
Fixating on a gun is pretty normal from what I understand. I read "lots" of people get shot in the arm/hand in gun fights at close range.
I think it was arfcom years ago that it happened to a guy. Armed guy came in, he pulled a gun, they both shot, and Homeowner got hit in the hand and it came out his forearm or elbow.

But if you take a piece of metal foil or sheet tin and cut out a nice gun shape... throw a few details on it... and slip it into a paperback book that you wrap up...
Just 'sayin ;-)

If folks search back on this topic... there are about 4 more versions of it. And they all turn into popcorn mills.
I'm not saying folks should stop discussing it.
Just that if they go back and do some research, they'll find some really good popcorn memes!

Still a small hit box compared to center mass. I've met multiple people shot in the head at close range who it didn't really do anything.
Ones face was gone from the nose down and he's alive, his was self inflicted obviously.
Buddy got car jacked, shot 9 times, once in the face point blank and he still survived.
